Seattle police are searching for a 17-year-old boy, accused of fatally shooting a passenger on a city bus last month in a case that recent charging documents describe as “the senseless execution of a total stranger.”
Miguel Rivera Dominguez, who was charged with first-degree murder and second-degree unlawful possession of a firearm on Wednesday, is the prime suspect in the killing of Marcel Da’jon Wagner, 21. Wagner was shot while appearing to be asleep on a bus in White Center, an unincorporated neighborhood just south of Seattle, on October 3, according to the King County prosecutor’s office.
The teenager had no prior criminal record.
According to the charging documents, Rivera Dominguez, wearing a full-face ski mask, had been on the bus for approximately 15 minutes. He then pulled the cord to request a stop and proceeded to shoot Wagner “without any provocation, and in fact without having ever interacted with the victim at all,” as outlined by deputy prosecutor Lauren M. Burke in her request for bail to be set at $3 million in the event of his arrest.
“The defendant’s senseless execution of a total stranger strongly suggests that if released on his own recognizance or on a low bail, he will commit future violent offenses,” Burke sad.
